The story is about magical princesses from outer space. One of said princesses, namely Valkyrie, lands her spacecraft on the Tokino Bath House, killing its current manager, the teenage Kazuto Tokino. So in order to save his life, Valkyrie gives him half her soul. Thus the obviously adult Valkyrie is transformed into a young girl who looks and acts like a child.

Valkyrie and her fellow princesses have magical powers. So whenever Kazuto and his crew encounter any problems, she is able to transform and protect him.

Aside from causing Kazuto and his sister Rika financial problems by damaging the bath house, Valkyrie has caused problems for her sister Hydra. Valkyrie ran away because she was supposed to marry a man she didn't love. Hydra, as the second oldest unmarried princess, is going to have to marry him if Valkyrie doesn't, so she goes to Earth and wreaks havoc trying to find Valkyrie. Eventually, she is stopped by Kazuto's shrine priestess neighbor and childhood friend, Akina Nanamura, who turns her into a little girl (like Valkyrie, but with her adult mind) so she is "easier to control". Also, Hydra crashed into Akina's shrine, and Akina keeps her around so she can "work off the damage".

Akina is also a childhood friend of Kazuto and has a secret crush on him, often putting her at odds with Valkyrie. So she and Hydra are sometimes partners in crime to cause problems for Kazuto and crew.

Later, Sanada, a catgirl maid of the royal family of Valhalla, the planet whence comes Valkyrie and Hydra, returns looking for Valkyrie. She is not shocked by Valkyrie's new appearance; in fact, she finds the new Valkyrie intolerably cute. Sanada takes her mission to protect Valkyrie to extreme lengths, including, for example, turning a bunch of ordinary girls who talk even indifferently to Kazuto, into mindless catgirl servants for the Tokino Bath House.

The show is light (mostly) in nature and is kind of a slice of life show. There are four seasons, of varying length. The second season is more serious and dark than the others, mainly because of Valkyrie Ghost, a mysterious figure who appears to Kazuto.

Descent into Darkness Song: 'Princess of December'. Starts out as a romantic song of eternal love and devotion, sung by the titular Valkyrie, only for it to be hijacked halfway through by her Shadow Archetype, Valkyrie Ghost, who turns it into a heart-wrenching song of loneliness and despair. It's one of the first hints that the Dark Valkyrie is actually a tragic figure, rather than the out-and-out villain she first appear to be. You can hear it here.

First Girl Wins: Subverted somewhat. Though she has apparently "lost" to Valkyrie, Akina, in the last episode, enters a wish letter that will be granted by magical properties of Valhalla. Three people make wishes, but her letter is the only one not uncovered by little Valkyrie.

Magic Pants: Valkyrie and Hydra. Their outfits seemingly able to accommodate the change in size during transformation. Also, little Valkyrie does not wear pants (just a skirt) while the adult one does.

No Sense Of Distance: Comet Sleipnir, just passing by Earth in the last episode, will visit Valhalla in 900 years since it's on the other side of the galaxy.

Not Himself: Used ironically, as the past versions of Laine see a marked difference in the character of their future self. While in the past Laine also noticed that Valkyrie as a child didn't act like little Valkyrie at all.

Onee-sama: Valkyrie to Hydra. Though this often seems cast aside as a joke or a phase Hydra went through, even though Hydra doesn't seem to prefer the male gender, though, besides Kazuto, thereisn'tmuch choice. Also, Valkyrie to Laine, in a flashback episode.

The One Guy: Really, other than the little pet guys, Kazuto is the only major, or even recurring, male in the show.

Morphic Resonance: While she is a capable Voice Changeling too, the two parts of hers she can't possibly modify are her breasts (she is somewhat well endowed) and her antennae thing which is also her "weak point" since pulling it means she will revert back. These are the only thing that can give away her disguise, especially when she try to put on a disguise as a male character.

Glamour Failure: And if that wasn't enough, her extremely perverted and OOC behavior (by the impersonated character's standard) usually gives her away before Fridge Logic kicks in.

World of Buxom: Out of the eight princesses, Chorus is the only one who isn't extremely ample, and that's because despite her height, she's actually one of the youngest if not the youngest of the princesses.
